It is a cheap way out if you only have an occasional
skein to wind.
It also gets you some weight-bearing exercise on days when
the weather is too nasty to go outside. (I unwind the
skeins by walking around the chairs.)
Once I needed to wind a skein of knitting yarn in a hotel
room that was bereft of suitable chairs. I hung the skein
on a doorknob, lifted off a few coils and laid them out
zig-zag across the room, then wound my way back to the skein
and lifted off a few more coils.
